The rakyat for the Kidex Skyway project to the fore, ‘yes’ to Kidex Skyway. Where are the rakyat who say ‘yes’, from Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Puchong and Kinrara, all of whom want the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex Skyway) to be built? Are there signatures of all the people who want the Kidex Skyway to be built and and forwarded to the minister with their many reasons in support of the Kidex Skyway? Good luck.

Three hundred and sixty five days since the signing of the concession agreement, and the concessionaire has not met the terms of the agreement and want an extension. Say ‘yes’ to Kidex?

Yes, minister, where are you getting your learned information from? Is it from the preliminary environmental impact assessment (PEIA) which had 300 people interviewed or Kidex Sdn Bhd with their 2000 people interviewed mostly from the road shows they have done so far?

Indeed, this is a good indication that the over 600,000 residents of Petaling Jaya have rejected the Kidex Skyway. Yes, you are with us. If they plan to build the Skyway and you say nothing, you are against the Kidex Skyway, saying ‘no’ to Kidex.

Then look again at the people of Puchong and Kinrara. Sure they have a say, just add them to the rakyat count of people who have not said ‘yes’.  Joke lah, indeed a joke when you the Right Honourable Minister can say people want the Kidex Skyway, with 2,300 people who have said ‘yes’.  Right Honourable Minister, you have been lied to, you have been misinformed and your people in the ministry do not seem to understand the reality of the Kidex Skyway.

We would like to see supporters produce documents, plans and information from all government agencies and the concessionaires to state their case on the Kidex Skyway publicly. Is there a case to build Malaysia’s most expensive per kilometre expressway (Kidex Skyway) that would start to decimate the city of Petaling Jaya and its rakyat?

Johor Baru, Ipoh, Sabah and Sarawak cry out for expressways, why build this expressway in Petaling Jaya. Is it the total of RM60 billion, the total collections that would be made by the cronies?

We believe that the Kidex Skyway is wrong because there are no documents which state a strong case for the Kidex Skyway, not even the documents of Kidex Sdn Bhd. We have shown that every document produced by the concessionaire is a misrepresentation/cooked up/figures questionable document in favour of Kidex Sdn Bhd. What to expect from all the consultants as they were all paid by Kidex Sdn Bhd?

Yes, minister, go ahead and approve the Kidex Skyway. Go ahead, talk to the finance minister to table in Parliament ‘Rang Undang-Undang Pembekalan Tambahan 2015 - Kinrara-Damansara Expressway’ to finance the land acquisition of the properties as there is nothing in the 2015 Budget for this. Is it that the finance for this project would come from “Cayman Islands or some unknown federal government’s financial source”? Please table it in Parliament.

We have our Honourable Members of Parliament for Permatang Pauh, Ipon Barat, Ipoh Timur, Petaling Jaya Selatan, Petaling Jaya Utara, Kelana Jaya, Subang Jaya, Selayang and many, many others to question you on this. They would stand up for the rakyat. State your case for the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex Skyway) and let us all know the merits of the project.

Finally, 1Malaysia. Yes, the people want it, their voices heard, loud and clear.
